I really like and appreciate tubulars and am happy to encourage people to try them out. But when I run into someone who just flats a lot, I recommend that he/she just stick with clinchers. There's no point in getting angry at your tires a lot if you don't have a full-time mechanic to follow you around on rides and handle the repairs afterwards. Tubulars are honestly not all that bad for most of us, but if you need to be reborn to ride on tubulars, accept your fate and enjoy your clinchers.
